These properties will be shoveled to big name real estate investors.
Those of us who might want to invest in a property or two will be shut out.

We as taxpayers will be subsidizing well connected investors, again.

Seems obummer and crew are floating another illegal act as a trial balloon. This is a violation of several laws.

We will soon be making our Health Insurance payment to one place (Obamacare). Looks like home renters will be making their rent payment to 1 giant real estate company (Democrat, of course).

Yes, this is a big change from the property auctions of the S&L foreclosures / Resolution Trust Corporation era. I went to a few of those auctions and most of the houses were small, old and in very poor repair.

I'm guessing that this time around (due to idiotic lending policies) the houses are newer, larger and more worthy of investment... therefore the peasants aren't allowed to participate.

It does seem likely. An investment trust will buy a few thousand properties for pennies on the dollar and be able to sit on them forever.

Crony capitalism? Probably. Of course, how did they end up owning all those foreclosures in the first place?

It is that obvious, although maybe the uniforms aren't quite as cool.

Who'll give me a hundred dollars for Detroit?
One hundred dollar ... one hundred dollars
fifty... fifty...
OK, who will give a buck for the entire city...

A Huge Housing Bargain - But Not for YOU

... from August.
This has been in planning for a while.
It is an outrage.

By the way. No one cares.
I’ve been talking and blogging about this for months and the response is a big shrug.

Bet you don’t get many responses to this.

People won’t wake up until we are all serfs, if then.

Makes you wonder if he’s trying to raise another slush fund to buy votes with.

Looks like that “hope and change” was only for the 1%.

“Why didn’t you post the article? Why did you post your comments where the article goes?”

I have posted exactly 2 threads in the 7 years I have been here; so I am not the expert on how to do it.
Please change if needed

Crony Capitalism is a nice way of saying outright theft and corruption.
